Legacy Parkway Duathlon

Each year I commit myself to one new, larger physical challenge to be completed before my birthday. Last year it was skiing a black diamond, the year before that was running my first marathon. This year I picked a duathlon. As some may remember from a previous post, a duathlon has been on my list of short-term goals for about a year and on April 17th, I can scratch that goal off. The Legacy Parkway Duathlon consists of a 2 mile run, 20 mile bike followed by another 2 mile run; I hope to do a longer race later next year. Now, as you may have realized, November is not an ideal time to begin a biking program, especially in Park City. To work around the snowy months, I have decided to attend 3-4 spin classes a week for my bike training and run 30-60 minutes 3 days a week. Come early March, I will move my biking from the gym to the SLC streets. If anyone has any training/transitions/general advice, feel free to post it.
